Abstract
To provide a BNCT treatment system capable of formulating a neutron irradiation mode based on diagnostic data on a subject to be treated. A BNCT treatment system 2, used for performing neutron capture therapy, includes: a Hexatron 3 including first to sixth neutron irradiation devices 3A to 3F which emit neutrons; and a controller 4 configured to control neutron irradiation by the first to sixth neutron irradiation devices 3A to 3F. The BNCT treatment system 2 includes: an HOP 5 configured to formulate a treatment plan (a mode for controlling neutron irradiation of the first to sixth neutron irradiation devices 3A to 3F by the controller 4) based on diagnostic data on a patient PA; an HSP 6 configured to monitor each component member; and a management unit 7 configured to manage the entire system.
Claims4
A BNCT treatment system which performs neutron capture therapy using a plurality of neutron irradiation devices which emit neutrons, the BNCT treatment system comprising:
- a neutron irradiation control unit configured to control neutron irradiation by the neutron irradiation devices;
- and
- a neutron irradiation control formulation unit configured to formulate a mode for controlling the neutron irradiation of the neutron irradiation devices by the neutron irradiation control unit, based on diagnostic data on a subject to be treated, wherein
- the diagnostic data on the subject to be treated includes data on systemic distribution of absorbed dose when a biomarker is administered to the subject to be treated,
- the neutron irradiation control formulation unit formulates the mode for controlling the neutron irradiation of the plurality of neutron irradiation devices by the neutron irradiation control unit through processes of
- acquiring data on systemic distribution of absorbed dose when the biomarker is administered to the subject to be treated,
- determining a portion higher in absorbed dose as a neutron irradiation range based on the data on the systemic distribution of the subject to be treated,
- identifying a tumor part in the neutron radiation range, and
- acquiring, based on size information on the identified tumor part, a mode for controlling the neutron irradiation of the plurality of neutron irradiation devices which has been executed in a case having similar size information on the tumor part.
